Rome: Its Rise and Fall : A Text-Book for High Schools and Colleges PDF
by Philip van Ness Myers
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
This book has been written in response to requests from many teachers that the author should expand his little text book on Roman history into a more extended account of Roman affairs.
Although the entire narrative has been laid on the lines drawn in the earlier book, still the present volume is practically a new work.
The development of the Roman constitution during republican times has been traced carefully step by step; while special emphasis has been laid upon the causes that undermined the institutions of the republic, and which later brought about the fall of the empire.
A somewhat larger space than usual has been given to the decay of paganism and to the rise and progress of Christianity in the empire.
Three chapters at the end of the volume are devoted to an account of Roman civiliza tion.
The whole work is bound together with numerous cross-references from paragraph to paragraph, and the text supplemented by maps, illustrations, chronological tables, lists of colonies and provinces, census rolls and tabulated statements, which, it is believed, will be found especially serviceable to both teachers and students.
